Did you poop today? This week?
If you struggle with frequent constipation, it’s quite possible you may not have gone for… Well… A while. And when you did, it may have taken a while, or felt very uncomfortable… maybe even painful.
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably tried a bunch of different home remedies, over-the-counter meds, maybe even prescriptions. But if you’re like a lot of long-suffering folks with constipation… Nothing has really helped, at least not for more than a moment.
But there is a way to stop constipation… or rather start things moving again. And when you do this, it’s possible everything in life will feel so much easier – Especially your relationship with the bathroom.
The Constipation Curse
First things first: Constipation DOESN’T mean you’re just going a day or two without pooping and feeling slightly overfull and inconvenienced... Living with problematic constipation can take a huge toll on your work, social life, personal relationships, and more.
Constipation causes a lot of unbearable symptoms such as:
- Painful bowel movements
- Poop that’s difficult to pass
- Dry, hard, lumpy poop
- Stomach cramps
- Bloating
- Feeling like your bowels are always full
- Abdominal pain
And, technically, constipation means you poop fewer than three times a week. That means if you’re going at least three times a week, it’s technically not constipation… But it may still feel that way. And most health experts agree: Just three bowel movements a week is definitely not ideal.
With a typical healthy gut, you’ll poop at least once a day… often up to three times a day. And your stool will pass smoothly and easily without pain.
And that’s probably what you’re hoping will happen when you try different treatments…
But you’re not alone if those solutions aren’t working for you.
Constipation Medication Let-Down
If you’ve unsuccessfully tried medication to relieve constipation, know this:
It’s NOT your fault.
Constipation medications notoriously do not work. But that doesn’t stop people from spending about $1.5 billion dollars every year to find some relief.
Constipation sufferers usually try 4 different OTC medications and 2 prescriptions before they quit trying – and most report that “the relief they receive is unacceptable.” In fact 78% of people reported little or no satisfaction with medication effectiveness on their constipation symptoms.
So what else can you do?
Some basic options can make things easier and help keep things moving once you finally have your constipation under control. You can try these constipation management tricks:
- Drink more water, up to four extra glasses daily
- Get plenty of fiber in your diet, especially from fresh fruits and veggies
- Avoid constipating foods like dairy products and red meat
- Exercise regularly – even a couple of 15 minute walks every day can help
And then there’s the most important factor to fix…
Gut Imbalances Lead to Constipation
Your gut microbiome is home to trillions and trillions of bacteria. A healthy, balanced gut contains mainly beneficial probiotic bacteria that contribute to your overall wellness along with a manageable population of harmful pathogens. Those probiotic bacteria help every part of digestion… and that includes easily eliminating waste.
When everything is working right, digested food moves through the gastrointestinal (GI) system. You absorb the nutrients and get rid of the rest as waste. Your gut (large intestine) removes the water to create solid stool that gets pooped out.
But when your gut microbiome is out of balance, your probiotic bacteria dwindles in numbers, allowing the pathogen population to take over – a condition called dysbiosis. And when pathogens outnumber probiotics, it can cause all sorts of digestive issues including:
- Absorbing too much water during the digestive process, leading to overdried stool and painful, difficult pooping
- Changing your motility, the way your body moves food through your gut
- Affecting transit time, how long it takes for stool to get eliminated
Add those up and you’re stuck with highly problematic, chronic constipation.
Luckily, there’s a simple, effective way out: Give your gut and probiotic bacteria what they need to thrive.
